Abe Brown is a martial artist in the Marvel Comics universe.
The character, created by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin, first appeared in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1 in April 1974.
Within the context of the stories, Abe Brown, along with Bob Diamond and Lin Sun, is one of the most skilled students attending the martial arts school run by sensei Master Kee. Kee gives each of the three students a jade talisman in the shape of a tiger's head and forepaws when he sustains mortal injuries due to an attack by a group of ninja terrorists. As the Sons of the Tiger, the three martial artists avenge their master's death, and become a group of adventurers.
Abe meets a private detective named Nathaniel Byrd, also known as Blackbyrd. Abe helps Blackbyrd stop a plan by the Caxon Oil Company to exchange black market firearms for illegal plutonium. Blackbyrd later contacts the Sons to help investigate reported atrocities at the New Troy State Prison.
Bob Diamond is involved romantically with a woman named Lotus Shinchuko, who joins with the Sons. When Bob gets into a fight over her with Lin Sun, Abe leaves the team. Realizing the Sons can not be a viable team, they broke up. Abe remains with Lin Sun and Lotus at the martial arts school.
Abe Brown is the brother of Hobie Brown, the Prowler.

Famous quotes containing the words abe and/or brown:
“Old Abe is much better looking than I expected & younger looking. He shook hands like a good fellow—working hard at it like a man sawing wood at so much per cord.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“His reversed body gracefully curved, his brown legs hoisted like a Tarentine sail, his joined ankles tacking, Van gripped with splayed hands the brow of gravity, and moved to and fro, veering and sidestepping, opening his mouth the wrong way, and blinking in the odd bilboquet fashion peculiar to eyelids in his abnormal position. Even more extraordinary than the variety and velocity of the movements he made in imitation of animal hind legs was the effortlessness of his stance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
